Hello & Happy Thursday!! If there is one concept I’m forever enamored with, it’s truffle oil, on everything! The struggle with truffle oil is that it’s typically blended with olive oil and not 100% percent truffle oil. I’ve heard that if oils were 100% truffle oil though, the flavor...

Hello & Happy Monday!! I can’t even begin to tell you the last time I had buffalo chicken pizza on top of the fact that I’ve never really had a taste for anything spicy until the past 6 months. (proof, that your tastebuds evolve) Over the past few weeks, I had a craving for all things buffalo...

Hello & Happy Tuesday!! Long before my vegan days, I loved.. Bbq “Chicken” Pizza! (truth) Not because of the chicken, but because of the bbq sauce. My fave blend is sweet, spicy and most importantly.. smokey!! This vegan Bbq “Chicken” Pizza was inspired...
